my best friend and i are planning a backpacking / town skipping trip to colorado in april (i know, way ahead of time, we're big planners!), and need some advice!

we were wanting to do some hiking and camping, but also want to experience the cities a little bit. we need advice on food, places to hang out (record stores, independent businesses that really rule, places to see bands, etc).

Also we're planning on not having a car, so that complicates life, but public transportation exists for a reason!

My parents were just in Colorado and went to a town called Crested Butte. They told me i needed to move there and start a vegan bakery, because it seemed like the kinda place where a vegan bakery would fit right in. They loved it so much they are planning on staying there for a month next summer. I think it is in the general area of Boulder.
